Re: [csswg-drafts] Why there's no horizontal-rtl and horizontal-ltr values in the "Writing mode" property? (#10731)

As an aside, I once thought that some chat systems were bottom-to-top, because the input box was on the top followed below by the latest message, but in fact those systems stack *blocks* (i.e. messages) and *not lines* of text on top of each other. 

However, some street markings in English and other languages are indeed B2T if the street is considered the canvas, so the first line/word can be read first, but this is clearly out of scope for CSS. 

Another however, some young kids intuitively start writing in the lower left corner of a page instead of the upper left corner, but this goes alongside turned or mirrored letters and other signs of early writing acquisition, so it is also out of scope.
